Catherine has received massive acclaim for her fantasy titles, particularly The Snow-Walker’s Son Sequence; The Snow-Walker’s Son, The Empty Hand and The Soul Thieves.
Catherine Fisher has also had a number of novels shortlisted for awards including the Smarties and W H Smith Mind Boggling Books Awards. Her book The Candleman won the Welsh Books Council Tir Na n’Og prize.
